Walnut & Zebrawood #2

This sculpted rocking chair is built from 2'' Canadian Black Walnut and Zebrawood accented with Ebony plugs. This is a large version ( 5' 11'' - 6'2'' ). This chair has 2 unique features that make it stand out even next to one of our other rocking chairs.

First the leg/headrest design borrows more form the Maloof design with
legs extending like horns and with a more stylized bottom curve to the
headrest but still using a coopered headrest to keep the grain lines
matched to the seat and arms.

Second we used a beautiful piece of Zebra wood, sliced it into 2.29mm thick grain matched pieces and used it as the front lamination to add a very unique contrast to the Walnut.

Features

- Grain matched Zebrawood form fitting flexible back braces

- coopered headrest

- exposed Maloof joinery

- hand carved seat, arms, and joints

- Truly a unique and beautiful custom rocking chair that is about as comfortable as they come
